Adams expressed that he knows there is no going back for him and he has gotten past the point where he would be apologising just for the sake of being let off the hook. The Wonderwall singer is also aware of the fact that he probably won't get forgiveness from the people he has hurt. In his 'effort to be a better man', Adams has taken up sobriety to be his priority along with his mental health. He believes that being sober and having stable mental health go hand in hand for being a good person.

Mandy Moore was married to Adams from 2009 to 2016. She came forward alleging Ryan of verbal harassment which ended up ruining her confidence. According to Moore, Adams' controlling behaviour essentially blocked her ability to make new connections in the music industry during a pivotal time in her career, as stated by Moore in an interview with a news portal. Though Adams had then disputed this claim made by Moore with the help of his representatives stating that he was only supportive about her career. According to the recent note shared by Ryan Adams, he is still reeling from the ripples of the devastating effects his actions have triggered.
